200 TORNE A. 



like the Iceland Moss, {Lichen islan- 

 dicifs.) 



Some part of the road consisted of a 

 reddish-brown earth, such as I had ob- 

 served in the early part of my journey 

 near Umoea. I was told that it was excel- 

 lent for red paint. At length I reached 

 Zingis, and in the evening arrived at Tor- 

 nea, entirely wet through, 



Septemher 15. 



I observed how they manage tiieir corn 

 at this season. They have no barns to lay 

 it into, but it is placed between poles, all 

 the ears directed to one side, in stacks two 

 or three ells long, and very high. If the 

 corn be not quite dry, it is first spread 

 abroad. Afterwards it is dried in a kiln, 

 and thrashed on a floor. How liable must 

 it be to take fire, and how much must un- 

 avoidably be spilt in consequence of such 

 management ! 



I received 100 dollars, of copper-money, 

 from the chief clergyman.
